The Fitness Guru

April 1, 2018
Chai With… Personal Trainer, Kevin Johnson of Da Gem Lyfe

Hello, my name is Kevin and I welcome you to Da Gem Life!

As a certified fitness expert, I believe that good health is to the body like honesty is to the soul.  Honesty is not a behavior or a way of speaking; honesty is a way of being, a way of life and so is living healthy.

Good health starts with a vision or someone like me, a certified fitness trainer, to help motivate you to pursue that vision. So many people are setting weight loss and fitness goals every year but many never are able to fulfill those goals, and so we may ask ourselves…Why?

Keep in mind that overall, good health is not defined in a single category like what is portrayed on TV and other ads you may see, but good health is what works for your particular body, type and shape considering all other medical factors and any other physical limitations you have in place.

Below are four hindrances that stop you from achieving overall good health

1.       Lack of Vision: Many of you may have an idea that you want to be in good shape, but you need to define your fitness goals and what will work for your lifestyle.

2.       Lack of Motivation: Define your passion for wanting to change and maintain your overall good health; get a fitness coach, friend or family member that will support you!

3.       Lack of Education: Research any vitamins and supplements you plan to take before you start your routine. Talk with your physician if necessary about any physical limitations you may have including your overall fitness goals.

4.       Lack of Guidance: Using a certified fitness expert, like myself who can guide you and make the appropriate recommendations for exercise, dieting, and how to remain focused and consistent.

Imagining yourself doing the things, you are contemplating in your mind, finding someone or something to get you off, running, and keeping you on track, someone to educate you, guide you and give you a program designed just for you!

Thinking, reasoning, willing into existence and understanding are the key components to starting a healthy lifestyle. You think about it, reason with yourself about it, understand that you must will it into existence through sacrifice and commitment…now all you need to do is reach out to a professional that can help and get started!

Visualize yourself eating and exercising right! Visualize yourself balancing the physical systems of the body and feeling better every day with more energy to do the things you love.

Your overall health is important and should be a way of life that everyone strives for. If you would like professional guidance and support from me, feel free to contact me at (602) 653-3205 or email me at hakatabis001@gmail.com to schedule a complementary assessment.

About the Author

Kevin Johnson is a passionate personal trainer, entrepreneur, and fitness fanatic with 10+ years of experience.  Having been involved in sports all his life, Kevin played basketball, football, and pro boxing in Missouri while growing up.  After starting his career, people would see him in his fit condition and ask if they could work out with him.  During these years, he also noticed that people weren’t taking care of themselves, eating right, or working out and started helping them on the side.  One day, it hit him that this is where his passion was and he could turn this into a career.   At that point, he went and obtained his certification as a Personal Trainer.  Entirely through word of mouth, his business which he named Da Gem Life grew.  The name symbolizes Kevin’s belief that your body is a gem and you must work hard to keep it shining like a precious stone or diamond.  He has experience with working with people of all ages, backgrounds, and experience levels – training young adults, coaching youth football, helping people with knee and back problems, etc.
